3.3. Setting up the tonearm:
3.3.1. Connecting tonearm:
Check the horizontal movement of the tube to ensure that the headshell will reach the
inner grooves.
Due to the high tonearm mass, turntable leveling and suspension should be checked
and adjusted according to the turntable manual.
3.3.2. Cartridge mounting:
You will need Allen key 2mm plus the two screws and nuts M 2.5 (some cartridges
has already threads, nuts will not be need it).
Mount the cartridge with the appropriate set of 2.5mm screws and check its travel
above the record with the cueing device in the “up” position! Starting overhang is
achieved, if the needle is in line with the front edge of the headshell.
Keeping the stylus guard on cartridge, insert screws from underneath the cartridge
through the slots in the headshell. Screw on the two nuts manually. The tip of the
cantilever should be level with the end of the headshell (viewed from side).
Fix by slightly tightening screws using Allen key. Ensure that nuts have fitted into the
ledge around the slots.
Note: It may be found easier to remove tube from armrest to give a little
more room below headshell.
Using tweezers push the pin connectors into cartridge according to code
Red - right
Green - right ground
White - left
Blue - left ground
The connectors will slip snugly onto pins of the majority of cartridges, but:
Pins too fat: with tweezers firmly push connector onto pin. Connector will
open slightly. Do be careful, however, that tweezers do not slip and damage
cantilever.
Pins too thin: connectors should be squeezed with tweezers to make hole
slightly smaller. First squeeze as in A then as at B then slip connectors onto pins.
Put cueing device into ‘play’ position, ie. down, release tube from armrest and
adjust counterweight until tube is balanced ie. floats in a horizontal position slowly
back towards the armrest. Prior to final balancing remove stylus guard.
3.3.3. Balancing of the tonearm:
Balance the tonearm to zero tracking force by rotating counterweight along the thread.
The instructions with your cartridge will recommend suitable tracking force. We
recommend you choose the highest force given and set arm to that amount. A higher
tracking force causes less damage to the record as the stylus maintains more stable
contact with the sides of the grooves.
